This time from Kenneth’s collection:

Tour posters are flying at me thick and fast, both from readers and from NOMAD, the guys who print them.  Below is a selection of pics I’ve been sent so far!

According to Toolband, artwork by Justin will feature on the poster (and possibly shirt?) for the St Charles gig tonight.  It looks pretty cool:

What do you guys think?

Toolband has confirmed the LA dates, listing only two of them: the 18th and 19th of July.  Tickets for these shows go on sale this Friday the 25th at 10am.  No word on what happens to tickets previously sold, my guess is that Ticketmaster will contact the fans who purchased them and let them know what will happen.  Also no mention of the date on the 21st.  Presumably this has either been cancelled or will be used as some kind of extra date to be announced after the other two sell out.  Who knows!

Also on Toolband was confirmation of the Limited Tool shirts, and it also looks as though there may be some Grey shits included as well as black ones.   Remember they don’t start selling them until the Cedar Park gig, and they won’t be on sale in normal stored (excluding ebay!).

Got an email from Kanaduh today, with plenty of pictures of Tool merchandise.  If any wants a closer photo of a specific shirt then let me know (they’re all a little blurry though).  Here’s a photo of the merchandise stand:

The limited shirts mentioned by Blair on Toolband don’t go on sale until the Cedar Park gig.  In regards to pricing, Kanaduh mentioned the following:

all shirts $40
2xlarge size $45
Old poster $5
City specific poster $25
Signed $100

I also noticed a G-String in one of his pictures for the ladies or crossdressers or Fourtheye!

Badkittygothgirl sent me a photo of the Tool tour poster she picked up at the gig.  It’s signed by all four members, and I presume for sale at the merchandise stall:

She also sent me a copy of the set list, which I won’t post here.  You can check it out in the New Orleans thread in the forum.  For those who are going to on this tour and don’t want to see the set list – rest assured you won’t be disappointed!

Also, the opening act was Wovenhand, despite what Blair said about it possibly being incorrect.

According to a recent post on Toolband, there will be 100 Limited Edition shirts featuring concert specific artwork at each show.  No word yet on the cost and sizes available but I hope to have more info from Fourtheye readers soon.  Here’s the Cedar Park shirt:

In other news, reports so far suggest Wovenhand are indeed supporting, at least in New Orleans. So much for the fansites being wrong! Also mentioned was that the Tool stage setup is looking quite different from that last US tour.  I’m sure some pictures will come in later today.  Thanks Kanudah.  I imagine Tool are probably on-stage or close to it as I write this!

Basejumper also sent me an email saying that apparently Ticketmaster as listing hip-hop group Dälek as the support in Red Rocks night #2.

Anyone who feels like grabbing me one of those shirts – let me know and we can come to some kind of arrangement…

Prepare your wallets!  The official Tool store on Toolband & Toolarmy is now open.  It appears to be the same in both locations (no exclusive Toolarmy stuff yet) and it can be accessed directly from here.

Got an email from coach from Toolarmy today who has the reluctantly part with his copy of Maynard’s Sieben.  The auction is up on Ebay and bidding starts at US$400.  Get at it!

Bill sent me an email yesterday letting me know that one of the customised posters done by Adam for the 2007 tour has found it’s way onto Ebay.  The cool tour posters were based on a cool looking print, and then further customised be Adam, in this instance he drew a picture of a weird looking dude no dissimilar to one found in Tool videos.  Starting bid is $500, do be prepared to spent a bit on this…

Those with a more modest budget may be interested in Jeremy’s auction of a tour poster he picked up in Atlanta last year.  This poster is at a much more tasty $50:
